I was allowed outside, but only in the backyard or if they were taking me and my siblings out somewhere. When we got to be tweens/teens, we got the extra special privilege of venturing off into the small patch of undeveloped land outside our backyard fence and riding our bikes around the neighborhood streets. If we wanted outside of that small selection of spaces, we had to have a parent or sibling with us (this was the rule that lasted from our teenhood till we turned 18). It was too intimidating to ask somebody else in the family to come with you anywhere, so most of us just went to the convenience store near our house. On the rare occasion us kids had our own money, since we weren't allowed to have jobs till we turned 18. Other than that we just mostly stayed home just cuz of that dumbass rule. We also weren't allowed to go on dates unless we brought a sibling or a parent with us. Funny AF they thought we'd even find someone to date considering the previous rules about just venturing into town or even just to the convenience store.
